Did you see Long's fielding % this year? It was below .800! That is really bad. No harm trying him in the OF.Quote:

I think that is a good place for him. He can hit (just not as a DH), and maybe, just maybe, the errors have really gotten in his head and a change in position will do a great deal of good for him and the team.Quote:

He needs to cut down on his strikeouts.Quote:

I think the difficulty is he'd be a DH, not a fielder. In that situation, for much of this year that spot was for Scott Hawkins, Travis Whipple, Les Smith, or Alex Fusilier depending on injuries and who we were playing. I don't know if I would have taken any of those guys out of the regular lineup for Masch.Quote:
